It appears to be working now. I think I'll hold off tinkering with it for a little while. I still would like to know why it did this, though. For now, I'll just restore my apps, but only the ones I use all the time,
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Did you happen to delete any system apps when you were customizing? You might have deleted an app that settings was dependent on by accident, which could cause something like that.

ALWAYS do a nandroid backup before you start tinkering with the phone, it will save a lot of trouble.

Heres how to do it:

1. Boot into clockworkmod recovery using Koush's Bootstrap Recovery

2. Select Mounts and Storage, and mount /system and /data

3. Return to the main menu and select Backup and Restore

4. Select backup and let it work.

5. When its done, return to main menu, and choose to reboot.

Now you can tinker however you want. If you happen to mess something up, return to clockworkmod recovery (hint: if you can't get the phone to boot properly, boot the phone, and pull the battery when you see the M logo. Replace the battery and it should take you to clockworkmod)

1. Boot into recovery

2. Mount your /system and /data again

3. Go back and select Backup and Restore

4. Select restore, and select you restore file (should be the only one if you've only done 1 backup)

5. Let it work, then reboot the phone, and your phone will be in the exact same state as it was when you did the backup.

If you can't get into clockwork, you'll need to SBF.

[Droid 2 General] xzillerationer:
Thanks, that'll really come in useful. The reason I couldn't fix it before is because Moto sucks, and encrypted the bootloader, so I was having a problem getting back into Clockwork. Did I say thanks? Oh well. Thanks.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Yeah moto does suck for that. They are giving options on future devices to lock and unlock the bootloader though (like the xoom) so at least they are making progress. Doesn't help us though...
[Droid 2 General] bobstro:
Are you using Droid 2 Overclock? I'm asking because it allows setting screen density. I found that the new startup scripts added to Apex 1.4.1 don't play well with OC settings that were fine on Apex 1.3. The scripts add sysctl and CPU tweaks.

I set my OC settings to more conservative settings, and it has been far more stable. This isn't a knock against either product. Both work fine together with a bit of work.

Fab did release a test release (1.4.2 seems to be the informal name) that doesn't launch his new startup scripts automatically, and that's what I'm currently running.

[Droid 2 General] xzillerationer:
Aye, I am. It seems fine most of the time for me. However, I've only been running for a few days, and have barely rebooted.
[Droid 2 General] bobstro:
I am had luck with 1.4.2 by setting my OC values to defaults before doing my pre-flash backup with Titanium Backup. After flashing, I was able to restore everything, including OC (default) values.

I also disabled the CPU tweaks Apex puts in /etc/init.d scripts, and and re-run QuickClock Advanced to recalculate my clock and voltage settings and imported those into Droid 2 Overclock.

So far (5 hours), it's been solid. If you don't want these issues, stick to Apex 1.4.0 for now. It was very stable.

Look at the HD2 NAND Bible (search) and go down to it in the first post, click the link and that'll explain how to flash it. You then need .zip ROM's to flash though. Are you sure they're not on the market? They're there for me...

You could always just search for the .apk file and install them like that. For instance YouTube .apk Maps. apk etc.

[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
Ive been seeing a lot of people disappointed with the XOOM playback capabilities.

Im not a hacker, and I dont own the xoom (yet) but someone should take a look at the NI adam because it can play all the 720p and most 1080p files perfectly.

I dont know if its a codec things, a player thing, or an OS thing,

but the two tablets (OTHER THAN SCREEN RESOLUTION) have IDENTICAL specs.

(unless the motorola xoom is handling ram differently because most people claim that it is only reporting around 500 mb free (doesnt detect the rest - possible because os is using it>))

someone who knows how should head to notioninkhacks.com and grab the roms and see if you can extract the player and associated codecs and see if this fixes the problem

Just a suggestion..

If one can play it and the other cant.. with virtually identical specs - it must be software related.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I always hear about how the Notion Ink Adam can play these files, but I don't think it does:

http://www.notionaddicts.com/forums/showthread.php/1737-Adam-h264-avc-mpeg4

That is from like 3 weeks ago. I have zero first hand experience with the Adam, so IDK really, but I can't find a single forum post or article saying otherwise.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
There was an update on the 14th from notion ink that fixed the stuttering issues. That post is pre update
[Xoom General] Phylar:
+1, I was just about to start a thread on this myself. Hopefully the dev community can pull the NI Adam codecs/player/frameworks/whatever and offer us a port. I am really on edge to return this because it can't do any better than my Snapdragon phone re: video. To hear that iPad and samsung phones do 720p high profile but this can't is just sad :(

[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
I bought my Xoom on VerizonWireless.com, with a month-to-month plan which I intended to cancel, and just use wifi (or tether). When I turned it on for the first time, it tried to activate, and it failed (I received instructions with it on how to activate but I haven't done them yet). After failing it told me to go somewhere in Settings to activate as well.

Since then it has asked me only one time upon turning on if I wanted to activate, and I said no. If I never activate my line will I ever be billed for it? So far it's not on my statement at all. My friend did something similar with a phone where he bought a phone for contract price by adding an additional line, but never activated it and they eventually just took the unactivated line off his plan and he kept the phone lol

Just wondering if anyone else was also in this situation or if they've contacted Verizon for it yet, thanks!
[Xoom General] keitht:
You should get billed because you basically signed a month to month contract. If you plan to use the data, you should call them for help. If not, you should call them and tell them to refund your money because verizon service is not required anymore (they changed this requirement last minute).
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
You have to cancel this month-to-month service within 72 hours or they charge you the $35 activation fee and the amount of $ for your first month of service. If you cancel in the first 3 day window, you will get the $35 activation taken off your bill, and be charged once for whatever few mb of data you used up to this point.
[Xoom General] sunnyd119:
Im sorry would you mind sharing, on how to activate the device. I have been trying to activate this thing for a while now but it keeps saying Activation failed. Am i supposed to do something in the process of activation??
[Xoom General] keitht:
You can skip/cancel activation completely as it is not required. You should be able to use your personal WiFi for internet. If you want to use Verizon data, you should contact them for assistance as I did not sign up for Verizon service so I do not know why it would be failing activation.
[Xoom General] sunnyd119:
I got the Wifi part, Its just that I will start traveling tomo for work so I was trying to activate my Xoom on verizon, but it keeps failing on me, I was just wondering if there was something I had to do in this process. I got it from best buy without activation, thinking that I would activate it myself later, but I guess that was a bad idea. Anyone have a solution?
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
store

You are not required to do anything other than click activate in the wireless settings under mobile network, if it will not activate by doing that then you must take it into verizon because the problem is on their end. This process however should not take long.

I would recommend going to a larger verizon store rather than smaller local stores. The Xoom is still new and a few stores I went into trying to find out some information had not even seen one yet.

EDIT: since you bought it at best buy and had not activated it there, in order to activate the device you must go into verizon. The reason being that they require a credit check (even on the month to month plan) and if it returns with bad credit, you will be required to put a deposit of up to 400$ (again even without signing the 2 year contract) but with that said activation will be quick and your first month bill will get about 65$ added to it in activation fees and sur harges.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Activate Device

Let me know if that works! :)
[Xoom General] sunnyd119:
Well then it seems that I will be making a trip to the verizon store tomorrow. Thank you for letting me know, I wouldn't have to worry about my credit, I am in good shape. I just can't understand why it couldn't be as simple as the ipad att activation, where it required me to just enter my credit card, and nothing else. Well a great tablet I guess is always haunted with different problems, but thank you kind sir for your response.
[Xoom General] sunnyd119:
Haha, this is what I have been trying and no luck, its funny the area I live in is great for verizon coverage too. Oo well I go to verizon tomorrow and try.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
You're Welcome

You're Welcome, and I agree completely with you. The ability to activate right off your ipad is a great feature that avoids extra charges.

Even without signing a 2 year contract and going with the month to month plan, you won't be charged for canceling (You will be paying the month after, not pre-paid, so you don't pay the month ahead and get allotted data, you pay after, and if you go over your allotted data, you get charged) but you will have a 15$ re-activation fee when you want to start back up.

Not quite desirable, I'm hoping verizon will be making a true pre-paid account for tablets soon (apparently they have it for smart phones)

Glad to have helped, I hope you get your Xoom activated before you leave!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tatarasi:
I do apologize if this is a known issue, but I couldn't find the answer in 5 hours of searching.

This is the description of my problem:

- I do write a .txt file on my desktop - it has 11,700 characters

- it synchronizes with Dropbox alright, entirely

- I download the file on my Samsung Fascinate.

- the downloaded file is complete on my SD card (I checked it by connecting the phone to the desktop, and I opened it)

- however, when I use any notepad on the phone, it shows only a part of the text (about 9,000 characters), and I cannot write anything more on it.

My question (that I didn't find an answer to, so far):

Is there an Android limitation to the size of a note that can be viewed and edited on the phone? Is it a limitation of the notepads I used - if so, is there any one without this limitation?

What solutions would you suggest?

thank you very much

My phone seems to be recover fine, is the error normal and can be ignore?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
ext is an extended partition, phones with out internal memory use it. On the Inc its really optional, so yeah if you didn't do any special formatting to your SD card that it would be normal that the Scripts in recovery skip over the EXT partitions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangweb:
And what about the following error:

Is it related to the same issue because I can flash to other ROM but not the Re-Eng one. Thx.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Ok, I know alot of people were asking about this in the DevNull thread originally but now that Oxygen 2.0 is out it must be easier?

As much as I like Oxygen, Devnull just felt that little bit faster and the only extra feature I use is the notification widgets.

My (extremely limited) understanding is that this stuff is stored in system_ui.apk - would it be as simple as putting the oxygen apk into the devnull rom before flashing? Or would there be specific code that needs to be extracted and recompiled into the devnull stuff.

Cheers :)

(trying to keep oxygen and devnull threads clean, mods are cranky lol)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
No. Adam said that the Google code changed for 2.3.3 and so the Oxygen Updater and Settings had to be rewritten and so on so you couldn't just whack it on. Oxygen 2.0 works just fine, just like DevNull. DevNull was just a straight 2.3.3 port from Nexus S (I think) with nothing else changed because like I said, the stuff Adam added had to be rewritten. The only difference between DevNull and Oxygen is the added settings and that's about it. So if you have DevNull and want the power widgets, just get Oxygen because it is the exact same thing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Not sure you get me.

I understand you can't pull it from RC7, but given 2.0 final and devnull run on the same 2.3.3 base wouldn't you be able to pull it from oxygen final?

I just found devnull faster, and have no need for a2sd and the likes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Sorry yeh was thinking about something else. You could try it, prob will work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Finally home so gave it a shot, just results in FC of systemui.

Nandroid is a wonder :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schiznik:
Won't be possible - the pulldown Widgets are built into the framework, the systemui.apk and the oxygensettings.apk

Btw, the app2sd scripts in oxygen don't do anything at all if you don't have an ext3 partition on your SD card

Get root, go to the market, download clockwork recovery mod, follow prompts, choose backup and wipe cache. In the clockwork app, choose download & update rom (C7). Couldn't be easier. A total piece of cake. After the rom installs, it re-installs all your previous apps!!!

Awesomeness.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Some Nexii, like mine, simply refuse to do anything with stock ROMs and updates. No such problem with Custom ROMs though, including the pre-rooted stock builds which are available in the dev section. If you are looking for the stock Gingerbread experience i would try one of those.

Of course, if you are happy to use Fastboot then you can get round any issues as it's the fastest and safest way to flash.

EDIT: And yeah, CM7 is the dogs danglies!

If this has already been addressed, please let me know. I couldn't find any relevant threads.

Recently, I've been noticing Maps is showing up in my battery usage screen, using 12-15% of my battery by the end of the day. This would be perfectly acceptable, if I had opened Maps at all on these days. This just started happening to me, not corresponding to any update of maps. Has anyone else noticed this? More importantly, does anyone have a solution? I've dug through the settings a bit but can't seem to find a cause. Strange that it just started happening also, seemed to start after the first time I used the turn by turn nav but could be just a coincidence.

TL;DR: Maps using more battery than it should when not in use. Why?
[EVO Shift 4G General] HolyShift:
I've noticed that my maps will start up everytime I reboot. I just kill it before it gets to using any of my battery.

Are you checking this usage under spare parts? I've seen others report spare parts showing this. I don't use that app but I never see any listing of it using my battery at all.

[EVO Shift 4G General] hausman:
Does it have anything to do with "use wireless networks" being selected under settings-location? That option sends your location data to Google periodically ("even if no apps are running"); I wonder if they are doing it through the maps app.
[EVO Shift 4G General] HolyShift:
I suppose it's possible but I'm not sure it's necessary for them to use an app to send your location data.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Evo_Shift:
Battery usage has to equal 100% so I find if I don't use my phone much maps will have a large percentage. If I use my phone the display and whatever apps I happen to be using take up a larger percent of battery pushing maps off the list. Something has to be listed on there even if it isn't using all that much battery simply because it has to equal 100% and if you aren't using your phone it is going to grab whatever is using battery even if it isn't much. When I look into the maps app I find the usage time is always quite low.
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
What? Lol

What you just said makes no sense whatsoever.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
